The care and pension policies of cognitively impaired elderly people in China have been facing many challenges. In terms of the status quo, the demographics of elderly people with cognitive disabilities show a large and growing number and an urgent need for care. Policies and regulations at the national level include pension insurance and medical security policies as well as social welfare policies, and local governments are also working hard to build community pension service systems and care institutions. However, insufficient human resources, insufficient funding, and social and cultural issues pose challenges to policy implementation. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to increase the investment of human resources, train professional nursing staff and strengthen training and education. Local governments should increase funding investment, improve the pension insurance and medical security systems, increase the supply of social welfare resources, and improve the long-term care insurance system; At the same time, the social concept and culture should be improved, the public's cognition and understanding of the elderly with cognitive impairment should be strengthened, and the mechanism and environment supporting their social integration should be established.
